| Zusammenfassung |
| Decision-making for protection measures against natural hazards entails
major complexities for final decision makers. The issue in question does not
only implicate a variety of criteria that need to be considered but also
scarce financial resources make the allocation decision a difficult task.
Furthermore, these decisions appear to be multidisciplinary in nature.
Stakeholders from experts over politicians and the public are among the
affected parties in making and dealing with the consequences of such
decisions. In order to capture the complexity that arises when incorporating
the varieties of interests as well as impacts protection measures have on
the environment, the economy and society, transparent and multidisciplinary
decision support techniques are needed. This paper looks at how Cost Benefit
Analysis (CBA), a tool already applied to decisions concerning protective
measures, and Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA), even though new to the field as
such but already successfully practiced in other environmental areas,
perform according to the abovementioned criteria. A conceptual overview of
the methodologies will be given along with a discussion of the respective
strengths and weaknesses. Looking at past applications, this overview gives
an analysis about the potential of socio economics in its contribution to
natural hazard research. |
